Sovereignty was never ceded, always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Good workers, good news to you all tell How the good old union has come in here to dwell Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on boys?

I'm your host, friend, and comrade, Christian.

We're also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at Peoples History of Australia.

Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

I swear he used the P-cup.

And now to close this episode out with the Which Side Are You On? So a little bit of a variation here.

Disc 3 or Disc 4 from Weird Al's box set.

Permanent record, Al in the Box.

Produced by Weird Al Yankovic and Rick Derringer.

No charting and no certifications.

So the first Weird Al episode, I did the Which Side Are You On segment with disc one versus disc two of this box set.

So here's disc three and disc four.

¶¶ THE END

Come all of you good workers Good news to you I'll tell Of how the good old union Has come in here to dwell Which side are you on? Which side

are you on?

My daddy was a miner And I'm a miner's son And I'll stick with the union Till every battle's won Which side are you on? Which side are you on? They say in Harlan County there are no neutrals there.

You'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair.

Which side are you on? Which side are you

on?

Oh, workers, can you stand it? Oh, tell me how you can Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man? Which side are you on? Which side are you

And there's a song in it.

Which side are you on? That union song was first written in the 1930s at the first Harlan County strike.

Well, then the documentary, which came out in 1977, has the woman who wrote it singing it again during the second Harlan County strike in 1974.

So it just keeps going.

And we have to keep asking ourselves that question.

Which side are you on?

Hannah, today, the influence of AI, I've been telling everybody that I meet, I know personally at least two people who have been laid off now because their jobs have been replaced by AI.

One of them was responsible for researching how AI could replace them before they got laid off.

But we listened to at least one track off of each of the 1978 KISS solo albums.

And now to close this episode out with a Which Side Are You On? Two sides of the coin, I'm getting weary.

Which one should I choose? So, KISS episode, so gotta do one of their albums, and I'm making my way through their discography and put the remaining albums in a randomizer, and here's what I got.

Side one or side two from KISS's 17th studio album, Carnival of Souls, released October 28th, 1997, produced by Toby Wright, Gene Simmons, and Paul Stanley.
